Six-two your final score.
Philadelphia over the Mets, and the Phillies are in playoff position if the season ended right now.
And I don't know, last time we were here, John Kruk, John Franco, Jason Variteky, if we thought we would say that about this Phillies team that started nine and 19, John.
Yeah, and, you know, we talked about it thur- throughout the game about, you know, with Zach Wheeler coming back into the rotation, from the, thoracic outlet, surgery.
But you're seeing now what this team is capable of all along.
Schwarber's hot.
When Schwarber and Harper are hot at the same time, and you give Wheeler five runs early, that game's over.
That's the way it was tonight.
35th time Harper and Schwarber have gone deep in the same game.
John Franco, the Mets are gonna get Francisco Lindor back.
They won the opener in this series.
There's still reason to believe they could hop back into this thing.
Oh, by far.
There's so much baseball left.
I truly believe they have a, a big winning streak in them.
like we said earlier today, it's all comes down to starting pitching.
If you can get their starting pitching straightened out, the offense is there.
With Lindor coming back, I think they're gonna make a, a decent run at it.
We'll see.
They'll play again next week at Citi Field, the Mets and the Phillies.
Final score tonight in the city of brotherly love, six to two, Philadelphia over New York.
